Lieutenant William Y. Wildman who has been at Camp Zachary Taylor Louisville, Ky. has been transferred to Camp Jackson, South Carolina. Lieutenant Syme is in Company A, 331st Infantry, overseas. 1st Lieutenant L. Sherman Aldrich is in the Transport Service at Camp Jos. E. Johnson, Jacksonville, Fla. Harold Seymour who has been at Camp MacArthur has been sent to O. T. S. Camp Zachary Taylor. Word has been received that 1st Lieutenant Preston Boyden has ar- rived safely overseas. Frances Thompson who has been nursing in the Lake Forest Hospital at Saint Cloud, France, is now in the American Red Cross Hospital No. 5, Paris,' as a nurse. 2nd Lieutenant Perry B. Buchanan of Battery F, 332nd Field Artillery has arrived overseas. Excerpt from letter received by his mother, from Charles Sheahan, Jattery C, 15th Field Artillery, over- seas i-- "On the way here, we camped for one night just outside a small town. Tommy Hogan and I walked through it that evening and I saw a branch of the American Fund for French Wounded. It was a dispensary run in conjunction with the Red Cross and was supported by 'Winnetka, U. S. A' The next morning we passed another one in a nearby town. It surely looked good." MUST ADMIT YOUNGE BOYS T0 U. ) U.5. SERVICE Age Minimum to Be Lowered on Ac- count of Draft--All Will Be in Uniform Next Year The U. S. Boys' Working Reserve is hard hit by the new draft regist- | "The factories will Bot be turnin t Up to the present it has en-| 1¢ tactories wil DE curning ou I p 'any. All of the big factories will be ration. listed boys from the ages of 16 to 21 for farm work. The draft next year will take the strongest and best To make up for this the minimum age will have to be reduced to 15, with a minimum weight requirement. For this reason the Reserve is anxious to complete the registration, by counties, of all boys on farms this summer. So far but three counties have re- ported. All three have each added some 200 boys to the list, which makes officials of the Reserve believe that there were many more than 20,- 000 boys working on Illinois farms last summer, in spite of the fact that but 12,480 are registered in the Chi- cago office at 120 West Adams street. Tazewell county made a complete survey by automobile and registered more than 200. In Ogle county and Peoria Counties the telephone girls did the work with results almost as great. Other counties are at work. The uniform of the Boys' Working Reserve, samples of which reached the Reserve headquarters last week is going to make a good-looking ar- my out of the boys next year. It is of khaki, and each outfit includes coat, breeches and leggings, shirt and work "pants" and a campaign hat. The coat is cut low at the neck like that of an English officer's coat. It has a stitched belt and gen- erous pockets. The shirt, which is of the same material as the rest of the uniform--a good quality of kha- ki-- has sleeves detachable at the el- bow. With it will be worn the work trousers without leggings. A shield and the letters U. S. B. W. R. are embroidered in red on the coat sleeve, and bronze collar insignia will be worn on the shirt. Radical reorganization of the sys- tem to be used by the Reserve in sending out its members next year will provide direct supervision for every boy. | i | i USED CARS NOW ARE AN EXCELLENT BUY, IS BRIDGE'S ADVICE By C. E. Bridges Buying used cars is one of the best bets just now in the automobile busi- ness, according to C. E. Bridges. He | has sold all of his new cars but three, ! valuable but he has on hand twenty used cars. "Used cars next year will be a thing of the past," he explained. engaged 100 per cent in war work. There probably will be a few new assembled cars put on the market, but they will be scarce. The auto- mobile plants which are too small to take war contracts are also too small to cut much figure in the automobile world. "This 'means that used cars will be next year. A good car bought now will be worth 50 per cent more next year. I don't know how you could devise a better investment. The purchaser will not only get the use of the car for a year, but he will make a 50 per cent gain if he wishes to sell it next year. "Our investigations show that we are selling used cars here several hundred dollars cheaper than they are in Chicago. The other day we sold a used car to a Chicago dealer. He added $200 to the price and on the same day he resold that car to an Evanston man. If that man had come to us in the first place he would have saved $200. "I don't blame the Chicago dealers for asking a higher price. They have heavy expenses and must get more from the cars. But just the same it is to the advantage of the buyer to make his selection here. "The public hasn't been thorough- ly aroused to the situation yet. When it does fully realize that it will be unable to get any new cars next vear, then there will be a rush of purchas- ers for the present supply of autos." BUY THAT BOND Leroy B. Hammond, 1 Crescent Place, has finished the training course at the Quartermaster's School at Great Lakes, and has been transferred to the Officer's school at the Municipal Pier, Chicago.
